Others I can understand, but what's wrong with Brooklyn?

I thought it was because Brooklyn is a city and a bridge, not a name for a child, even if it is a nufty Beckham.

As a result of the parents, it's in the top 50 kids names...
As if the kid wanted to be reminded of what his parents were doing when and where...

I'm always reminded of Arthur's one true love, Fenchurch, when I hear of people named after their place of birth - Florence anyone? - or conception.

It is the difference between comparative and superlative. As both my girls are super I use the superlative form for the honorifics - Eldest and Youngest.

I, like every parent I guess, do have the best children in the world.

Catherine is sitting hers this week - she's consistently top of the class for SPAG so I'm expecting great things from her there. She's at 5A/5B for all subjects.
Good luck to elder ickles.

And best of luck to yours and you.
Eldest is top of the class as well in English so I'm not bothered, but the maths may be her downfall. However as she's off to public school in September, these don't really matter a flying freckle - she aced her entrance and they don't even care about SATS.

SATS has absolutely nothing to do with the success of a child in future schooling, and everything to do with schools fighting for league tables.

For primary schools, they get extra wonga based on the educational differential, or whatever the bollox they call it, of results at KS1 and KS2. Some senior schools DO use SATS results for streaming in year 7. It sucks.
The idea is great - test how the SCHOOL is doing not the CHILD - but it has become the reason for Yr 6 and pressure is mounting on the kids. Me Ma, a retired teacher of the projectile chalk [and occasional board rubber] variety - laments the way it works. A discussion that has been doing the rounds for the last couple of years is to change the SATS to be maybe 8-9 different types of paper and each year the children are tested with 3 papers; different combinations for different schools. This would make it impractical for schools to teach to SATS. Then when the tests come around, the pressure is off the kids and back on the schools to make sure they are teaching our children what they need to know.
